  • Patent number: 12227752
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of MtNAC33 gene and a protein encoded thereby in the cultivation of high-biomass and drought-tolerant alfalfa, belonging to the technical field of plant genetic engineering. The plant protein encoded by MtNAC33 gene has the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2, and MtNAC33 gene has the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1. In the present invention, the drought tolerance of Arabidopsis thaliana and alfalfa can be significantly improved by regulating the expression level of MtNAC33 in alfalfa. The phenotypes of delayed flowering, increased leaf-to-stem ratio and more biomass in alfalfa were also developed, which has an important effect for genetic improvement of stress resistance and biomass of forage grass and other crops.
